These scanned sculptures were heavily used 10 to 15 years back when SSS and AO renders were all the rage to test render engines with, I decided to give KeyShot 6 a try to see what it could come up with .... Here's the result of play, let me know your thoughts

Really like that color. Would be very cool with a green gradient as well!

I shall revisit this and see what I can do for you Josh - doing a system clean and rebuild today, keeps over-heating grrrr

Pretty good there Martin. There is so much variation in color amongst carved jade, some even stained. I'll have to take a stab at it. Thinking something that brings out the translucent crystalline structure, like this.

I would be most interested in that type of finish, I keep trying with translucent but getting nowhere so i am thinking plastic maybe or possibly advanced, gemstone and liquids don't offer enough material assignments, shame really as you still need dispersion and ABBE with semi precious stones.
